Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork cubes with salt and black pepper, then toss them in the flour to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned pork to a plate and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the sweet paprika and smoked paprika, toasting them briefly for 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato paste until fully incorporated, then bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the browned pork to the pot, cover, and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the Pork Paprikash hot over egg noodles or rice, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 13

Enjoy your rich and hearty meal!
